This photo of Andy Kim in the moments before ICE gassed everyone at Delaney Hall is going into the history books. We need more of this from our electeds.

I know the law

happy 9th anniversary to the day we watched Zendaya fall madly in love with Tom Holland in real-time

this is the closest I've ever come to actually suggesting a "one neat trick" suggestion for anything, but I'm so serious here. the Virginia Constitution gives the legislature the power to set retirement ages for judges "REGARDLESS OF THE TERM TO WHICH ELECTED OR APPOINTED." make it 54 right now.

How Virginia Democrats can overturn the redistricting ruling: Retire the Supreme Court

The state Constitution gives lawmakers complete latitude to set the judicial retirement age. They should use it.

Thinking of switching all written assignments in every class to reflections on bell hook's work because AI knows that her name is never capitalized, but undergrad students typically don't.....

A very Strength In Numbers-coded article today: It looks like Republican Supreme Court justices made a very rudimentary, but willful, statistical error in their effective invalidating of the VRA in the Callais decision. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/2026-05-08...

The simple statistical error Republican Supreme Court justices used to gut the VRA

The Court says vote dilution can be proven only after "controlling" racial polarization for partisan polarization. This is a nonsensical and impossible test

I have yeeted the LMS my uni has paid for and which you were probably thinking helps you teach Forgive me it was surveillant so mid and so broke

school administrators implementing canvas for every use case

Just had Canvas stop working as I was typing comments on a student paper. I now can’t access anyone’s work or grades. Strangely, this never happened back when I used a grade book and had students email me their papers, a system no shareholders extracted money from.

Kind of surprised that this hasn't been bigger news. It's finals week for a whole lot of universities, and yet, Canvas (a learning/grading platform used by ~9,000 schools globally) is currently inaccessible because of a pay-or-have-your-data-leaked hack. www.insidehighered.com/news/tech-in...

Morning! xx

While Trump's assertion that "a whole civilization will die tonight" represents a discrete threat of genocide against Iran, the fact that it comes from a U.S. president, while Congress does nothing, actually represents a broader civilizational collapse — whether he follows through or not.

Any other sociology professors thinking about what to do in class tomorrow if we drop a nuclear weapon on Iran tonight?

Holy shit we might have a cure for sickle cell anemia

Thompson's hematologist at Johns Hopkins, Dr. Robert A. Brodsky, published a study revealing that the research now has an overall 94% disease-free survival rate. "[A cure is now] available to the majority, almost the entirety, of sickle cell patients.” #GoodNews #BlackSky 🌱

Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible “America at 250!” achievement

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

It ain’t over til Minnesota has ICE’s battle flag

Benito said "God Bless America," and then proceeded to name every country in South and North America. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

OK "god bless america" and then naming every country in the americas from south to north is absolute king shit

This is the most incredible #SuperBowl halftime show that I have ever seen. Bad Bunny’s celebration of Latin American culture is just the statement of defiance against the Trump administration and xenophobia that this country needed. Thank you.

I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors. Great work everyone.

Donald Trump is a racist.

They should invent laws that rich people have to follow.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

you will NEVER convince me that an illegal immigrant is my enemy and that a person who would do this to a child is my friend

A little girl in Portland, OR after being tear gassed by ICE. what the actual fuck.

Video shows ICE leaving behind an infant and broken glass after arresting a man with no criminal history. “There was a car seat in the back... There were broken glass shards all over it... There was just this tiny peanut of a baby. He was crying.” My latest: www.pressherald.com/2026/01/28/i...

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

This is Minneapolis. Collective trauma, and neighbors helping neighbors. This is our 24/7 every day lives right now, not just a 10 second news clip.

ICE watch volunteer: "We have shown up day after day for 8 weeks to protect each other and to protect our neighbors." Chris Hayes "Can you outlast them?" "I don't see any signs of slowing. What I see is more and more people stepping into their courage and moving together with one voice."
